Spaceman

Today I met a spaceman, who came down from the sky
And when I met that spaceman, I had to ask him why?
Why did he come so far and travel all this way?
He said, what he had to tell us couldn’t wait another day
He said that he’d been watching our planet now for years
And when he started speaking, his eyes filled with tears
He’d seen our planet slowly change from green to brown
Let’s hope it’s not too late, to turn it all round…he said
He said
Why are we tearing down our beautiful trees?
What are we doing to our rivers and seas?
We need more space for the children to play
Out of the shadows and the grey
He said
We must turn the clock back before it’s too late
Our planet needs help it just can’t wait
We must teach our children how to make
The whole world green again
If we care enough to make the world a better place
We have to change our ways, for the sake of the human race
We won’t give up and we must stand side by side
Today is the day, we must decide
He said
Why are we tearing down our beautiful trees?
What are we doing to our rivers and seas?
We need more space for the children to play
Out of the shadows and the grey
He said
We must turn the clock back before it’s too late
Our planet needs help it just can’t wait
We must teach our children how to make
The whole world green again
Today I met a spaceman who came down from the sky
And when I met that spaceman I had to ask him – why?

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Turn off the water, turn off the lights
When you brush your teeth and you go to sleep at night
How about walking if it’s not very far
Or jump on the bus, you don’t have to go by car
Don’t let the rain go gushing down the drains
You can catch it in a bucket, you can use it all again
Natural resources are in very short supply
Water paper, oil and electricity
Reduce – oh yeah
Bottles and containers, plastic bags and clothes can be reused
Glass and plastic, organic waste and tins
These are things that go into recycling bins
Reduce, reuse, recycle if you want to be green
Reduce reuse recycle if you want to be green
Sort out the toys and the clothes you never wear
There are charity shops, there are summer fairs
Old or worn doesn’t mean it’s for the bin
Think once think twice before you throw it in
Don’t let the rain go gushing down the drains
You can catch it in a bucket, you can use it all again
Natural resources are in very short supply
Water paper, oil and electricity
Reduce – oh yeah
Bottles and containers, plastic bags and clothes can be reused
Glass and plastic, organic waste and tins
These are things that go into recycling bins
Reduce, reuse, recycle if you want to be green
Reduce reuse recycle if you want to be green
Well you’ve got to reduce
And you’ve got to reuse
And you’ve got to recycle
To keep the whole world green
Well you’ve got to reduce
And you’ve got to reuse
And you’ve got to
Reduce reuse recycle
If you want to be green
Reduce reuse recycle
If you want to be green

Every Little Drop

Every little drop in the ocean is a drop that matters and counts
And every little grain of rice, adds up to a larger amount
No good thinking there’ll always be
Plenty of fish in the sea
Let’s think about the future now, and how we want it to be
Nothing lasts forever, that’s why we need to conserve
It’s time to show our beautiful planet, the respect that she deserves
So many mouths to feed
We shouldn’t take more than we need
Let’s think about the future now, and how we want it to be
Do you ever hear the planet cry?
Do you ever stop and wonder why?
Show the world you have a heart
Together we can do our part
What if all the water runs dry
There are some things that money can’t buy
There’s so much more, that we can do
And now it’s up to me and you
We could use more energy from the wind and the sun and the rain
We must learn to never make the same mistakes again
No more cutting the forests down
No more mountains of waste
Let’s talk about the future now
Before it’s too late
Let’s talk about the future now
Before it’s too late

Plastic

Long time ago
Over one hundred years ago
The very first plastic came to be
Little did they know
Just how far things would go
Changing the world so drastically
They couldn’t get enough
Of this fancy stuff
Goodbye metal and wood
Anything was possible
It soon became unstoppable
But not everything about plastic was good
Well isn’t it fantastic
What we’ve made with plastic
Polystyrene, PVC and Lycra
We could not exist
Without substances like this
Silicon and Teflon and Formica
Improving our lifestyle
Practical and versatile
Laminate acetate acrylic
We made it indispensible
But was that really sensible?
Do we want a world made out of plastic
Defying tradition
No longer science fiction
The very fabric of modern day life
Makeable, unbreakable, non-biodegradable
Plastic waste is not a pretty sight
Although economical
It’s made out of chemicals
Quick to produce and to multiply
But with mass production
Comes eco-destruction
And everybody seems to turn a blind eye
The trouble with plastic is it won’t go away
When it’s buried in the ground it does not decay
Making its way into rivers and seas
Spreading around like infectious diseases
There’s nearly more plastic than fish in the ocean
How do we stop this plastic explosion?
Not enough is being done
And it’s become
A global catastrophe
